Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan secured interim bail from the Islamabad High Court (IHC) Tuesday in the attempted murder case.
IHC’s Justice Aamer Farooq granted Khan interim bail till March 9 against surety bonds worth Rs100,000.
In October last year, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader and member of the National Assembly Moshin Nawaz Ranjha filed the case against the deposed prime minister — who was ousted from power through a no-confidence in April — at the Secretariat police station in the federal capital.
Ranjha approached the police after being attacked outside the Election Commission of Pakistan’s (ECP) office in Islamabad, where PTI workers and supporters were protesting ECP’s verdict, which disqualified their party chief in the Toshakhana case.
It is pertinent to mention here, the election organising authority on October 21 disqualified Imran Khan, finding him guilty of not sharing details of Toshakhana gifts and proceeds from their sale during his tenure as prime minister. A five-member bench, headed by Chief Election Commissioner Sikandar Sultan Raja, unanimously ruled against Khan under Article 63 (p) of the Constitution.
Attempted murder case — Imran Khan secures interim bail till March 9.
Toshakhana case — Non-bailable arrest warrants issued against Khan.
Prohibited funding case — Banking court grants PTI chief interim bail.
Terrorism case — ATC approves former PM’s bail till March 9.
Earlier, a district and sessions court in Islamabad issued a non-bailable arrest warrant for the PTI chief in the Toshakhana case against him.
Additional sessions judge Zafar Iqbal, who conducted the hearing of the case, announced the decision as Khan failed to appear before the court despite repeated orders.
Earlier today, an anti-terrorism court (ATC) and banking court granted interim bail to the former prime minister after he appeared before them at the judicial complex.
The former prime minister secured bail in the prohibited funding and terrorism cases filed against him.
ATC judge Raja Jawad heard the terror case and granted bail till March 9 against submission of surety bonds worth Rs100,000.
Meanwhile, judge Rakhshanda Shaheen confirmed Khan’s bail in the prohibited funding case.
Khan was scheduled to appear before three courts today to attend the hearings of multiple cases. These included a prohibited funding case in a banking court, an anti-terrorism case, and the Toshakhana and an attempt to murder cases in the same court.
